Silverwater Jail - Prison escape

[Mr Invisible]

Just heard there are cops EVERYWHERE and Pol Air is circling the area.

Read on social media from someone that saw the inmate bolting.

Male has escaped from the Minimum security prison (or max security remand).

Not being reported anywhere it seems.

Probably trying to keep it under wraps and see if they can catch him before they say anything. Similar to how they don’t report in the media a lot of robberies. Don’t want to scare people

Yeah could be that.

Wife works in Olympic Park and saw all cops and stuff on her way to work. She's like "something big is going down".

Silverwater is run by Corrections NSW so maybe they are trying to keep it quiet.

IMHO there should be nothing but remand centres in Sydney and surrounds. How Parklea is still Maximum Security astounds me.

Why would anyone escape from minimum security?
***** just bought himself a direct ticket to a long stint in maximum security.

LOL someones getting sacked!!!

Shots have been fired at a Sydney prison after staff thought they had released the wrong inmate.

Staff reportedly panicked soon after releasing a prisoner on parole at the Silverwater Correctional Complex in Sydney's West on Saturday.

But it turns out the correct inmate was released, but with the wrong paperwork, 7 News reported. Police launched a 'manhunt' for the escapee after he ran out of the complex after questioning.

Corrective Services New South Wales told Daily Mail Australia a security guard fired the warning shot into the ground after the 'offender' ran away following questioning.
'The inmate was due for release today but had the wrong documentation,' she said. 'The offender has now been apprehended and investigations are ongoing.'

A spokesperson for NSW Police confirmed they are assisting the Department with their investigation.

I guess, smart criminals usually don’t find themselves in prison.
